If it has and engine I wear ear plugs, Riding, mowing,weedeating, chain saw. As a flightline mechanic they preach hearing protection......I'm a believer

Funny, I used to on my Dyna, with the SG I did not until a couple of weeks ago, it was great, I felt it made for a better ride, can hear music & pipes just fine with no wind rush.

 

Noise controls speed!

I ride faster when I have ear plugs in. Go Figure

 

So does ear buds for music count?

 

Always

 

If I'm going (or plan to go) over 50ish, I take them & put them in before any leg of the trip where I will be breaking the 50 MPH mark.

As deaf as I am from Harley's, Handguns, and Helicopters, I don't know if it helps anymore, but it won't hurt if I use them.

 

You can't hear the wind rush because you're going deaf! It is still there, damaging your hearing.

 

 

No matter which bike I always use ear plugs. More enjoyable ride and less fatigue
at the end of the day.
